Shopify Inbox

Dec. 11, 2023

I don't mind the chat. I don't need to be notified of every reply if I'm online talking to the customer. I was still being notified of replies an hour after a conversation ended. it was annoying. I also shut off the email notice I had over 100 notices in my inbox. That seems extreme.

It bugs me that even if i answer quickly it always goes to an email even if they are still on the site. I'd like it to be more of a real time app instead of multiple emails back and forth! Otherwise it is very handy to use and have chat on your site and yeah, it is FREE. works well on computer or phone. So - I was giving higher score but dropped it down to a three because reviews are not all legit.

It's a great app! Mostly useful, does its job well! The only negative side of the app is that it does not let you customize most of their text. So, appart from the questions/answers (which you are free to edit as you please), the rest of the chat (title, disclaimer, etc) you have to stick to their translation, even if you want to switch to a more formal / less formal text (which many languages have, not everyone has a simple language like American English), you can't, it kind of ruins the experience if it does not match with the rest of the site's text style.

We like it... but there are a few things we would like to share. 1) We have 3 stores and it's VERY hard to switch between each chat. We have to log out of each store and then log into the 1 store we want to chat with. 2) When the conversation is done it would be great to have a "copy conversation" button. We have a database and we save all customer conversations. 3) We have 3 people who respond to messages.... it would be great when the conversation is closed an email goes out stating that so the other agents know it has been handled and no need to long in and respond.

Really needs voice or video connection to the customer for better customer service.

es una buena aplicacion, pero seria mejor su directamente te enviara respuesta a whatsapp mas que al correo cuando uno no responde de inmediato. se hace mas facir la comunicacion por whatsapp creo. ademas seria bueno que uno pudiese ponerle un timbre exagerado e insistente al telefono cuando llegan mensajes por aqui, se pierde facilmente el momento online con el cliente.

Eigentlich ein wirklich tolles Tool! Wir verkaufen jedoch international und es gibt keine Übersetzungsoptionen. Das ist sehr mühsam, weil wir immer alles in Google übersetzen müssen um dann antworten zu können. Hoffentlich gibt es dafür bald eine Lösung. Das wäre ein Segen Auf jeden Fall ist die App sehr zu empfehlen!

i wish it had a ding when a message comes in so i can respond immediately. It pops up but if i wasn't on phone i wouldn't have known the message came in

Great basic chat support system, native to shopify. Would like to see a few things before moving to Shopify Inbox full time. 1. Initiate ticket via email. If your customers email you for support, you can't use Shopify Inbox. All tickets must be initiated in chat first. 2. Shopify Inbox recently lost the ability to connect to social media messengers like Instagram and Facebook, as well as Apple's iMessage. This was a big step back; hopefully it returns. 3. Shopify Magic surfaced answers. Right now, Magic is only used for the merchant to pre-fill quick answers that the customer needs to click. The AI should be able to pull answers from around the website, such as product pages, blog articles, policies, etc.

Incredible app on so many levels. Shopify has done a good job keeping the app incredibly simple, easy to use and cross-device. That being said, this app lacks some very basic integration tools that knock it down from 5 to 3 stars. It would be amazing if it could do something as simple as integrate with Google sheets for reporting, Slack for notification and team tracking, etc. A Zapier integration would be really appreciated!

The app really seems great and was an exciting prospect for our store, but unfortunately there's currently a killer flaw: the inability to turn off pre chat form. Requesting a visitor's name and email before talking with them first will greatly reduce the number of people that contact us. People are wary to share their information and it's an unnecessary first step. Hopefully Shopify developers will make it possible to turn off this feature soon.

Great potential BUT so many flaws that I'm looking for an alternative now.... 1-Like all other reviews, I don't like that profiles are being created when someone enters their email address - I doubt this is even legal (following current privacy/GDPR regulations) 2-The fact that customer have to screenshot an image so I can see what product they're talking about is not practical. The app should be able to automatically "capture" whatever product-page they're contacting me from (other apps do this). 3-I should be able to reply to these people via text (instead of -or as well as - email). I've lost sales because of this. A customer may not see a reply if it's sent to their email inbox, even if I reply within minutes. That email may even end up in their spam folder and I don't have the time to be chasing POTENTIAL-customers individually. Good things: the design is beautiful. Installing the application super easy. The FAQs feature is beautifully designed and so easy to use/customise (the faq-suggestions given are amazing).

Hi, I find the Inbox App generally pretty good. The main issue I get is that as I access the Inbox from various devices sometimes the sync between them all doesn't seem to be consistent. Also I find that messages remain unread and flagged as such on the App icon, even after they have been read. This seems to relate to the sync issue. Besides that it is a handy business tool and I would recommend people to try it.

Good free chat. The only problem is that it doesn't support multilanguage translation. We have to choose a main language to display for all customers. Bad for international ecommerce.

Below average rating. This app do not support customer chat without insert their first name last name and email. There is no option to turn off. which is not convenient for them when their just want instant message. First Reply can not insert link. That means when off hour, customer may not contact us through whatsapp. But its official i believe it works faster than competitor apps. So much spam from Egypt and Nigera. I choose to render whatsapp as Customer Service.

Thank you very much for this work, but a lot of things are missing: 1. Search in messages (you may suggest connecting an external database or google sheet) 2. It is extremely important to link the conversation to a specific order. Otherwise, the conversation is lost and will no longer be found 3. Often messages are not sent the first time and you need to resend them again and again
